Race Prep

I used new handle bar mounts for this race, other than that nothing special.

Qualifying

Race day started wet and thus qualifying was on rain tires in wet conditions. I had a decent qualifying, finishing 7th, but did not make the most out of my potential there.

Quali result: 7th

Race 1

Then I was off to a great start and was in 5th position, chasing 4th when I fell and lost two positions that I couldn't regain unfortunately. But the worst was that race control gave me a two minute time penalty for passing under yellow flag, which was totally unjustified. First of all, I passed a rider that was one lap behind, so not for race position, and secondly, I passed him before the yellow flag zone, which my onboard camera proves quite well I think. This put me back on 13th.

Race 1 result: 7th --> put back to 13th!

Race 2

So I had to start from 13th position in race two. In the pack, I had some bad luck which put me back several times and after five laps, I was even back in 15th place. In the end I couldn't gain as much as I hoped and finished in 11th position, for 10th overall.

Race 2 result: 11th
Overall: 10th
